Very Cool!!!
A different way of telling a story
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View More*Spoiler/plot- 1999, Follows a very young inexperienced USC film student through his paces struggling to make his thesis film project. We see his influences in a satirical way that brings him to his final university script and then his next commercial film offering about a duck.*Special Stars- Martin Hayes. Dir: Joe Nussbaum *Theme- USC film school will mold you into a possible film mogul, if you try hard enough.*Based on- Shakespeare in Love format and Lucasfilm Limited Star Wars imaginary world.*Trivia/location/goofs- Expectly casting 'eye' with it's unknown actors in their character roles.*Emotion- Rather impressive student fan film prequel short to the George Lucas USC myths. Enjoyable, watch able, well produced, and worth your time that cleverly follows the film format of the film of that day, Shakespeare in Love.
View MoreThis film is short but absolutely flawless as it tells the story of how George Lucas may have got his inspiration for Star Wars.This gentle comedy is just pure fun, from Georges arch nemesis through to the Yoda like encounter and of course the beauty he encounters along the way.The ending is funny and I liked the scene with Georges friend right at the end when he gets a new pet, all in all a fun film which had me laughing out loud.The actor playing Lucas is very good in the role, the script is well written and the music well suited.Overall highly recommended!
View MoreGEORGE LUCAS IN LOVEA Joe Nussbaum parody1967. George Lucas (convincingly nerdy Martin Hynes) is having trouble finishing his script for his epic about space oats, "3XR-259.7". When he meets Marion (Lisa Jakub) he finds true love and realizes that inspiration is right in front of him.The spoof genre is a tough one. If it works, it can be hilarious, if it doesn't, it's often dreadful. Movies like Not Another Teen Movie are perfect examples of what a bad spoof is: lazy writing, lame attacks on famous movies, mind-numbingly stupid jokes, and an inconsistent plot.Thankfully, GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE is everything a spoof should strive to be. The jokes are clever, subtle and spot-on. The characters are hilarious spoofs of famous "Star Wars" names, especially the backwards-talking professor (Patrick Kerr), George's stoned roommate (Jason Peck) and his visions, and the evil asthmatic Aaron (Jeff Wiens).The acting is top-notch, even if most of the cast members' characters are purely for comedic purpose. The best part of the movie is probably the shattering twist at the end.GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE is a movie that does perfectly what it's supposed to do. It generates many chuckles but even though it's a very good production and a clever spoof, the laugh out loud-level is not as high as in another recent Star Wars spoof, the hilarious "A Lost Hope". Still, it is a good spoof film and easy to enjoy. 8 out of 10.
View MoreWay back in 1967, a certain director had no idea about a galaxy, far away or near. He was trying to complete a movie with the title THX etc. this short is a remanufactured history of a certain George. i am sorry it has only cuteness to defend it. This is merely an advertising promo for the director, actors, et. al. It has little intrinsic artistic value. It is a brochure. The lead playing George, is very fine, as is the Leia character, and the ersatz Darth character. All else is plain commercial dross. What a waste. Still, it got the job done I guess. The rest of the movie is merely treading water to kill time I guess. a brochure only.
